GOP CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR STOPS IN WAUSAU

WAOW–Ch. 9 TV–Wausau

MILWAUKEE COUNTY EXECUTIVE SCOTT WALKER STOPPED BY CHANNEL NINE TODAY TO EXPLAIN WHY HE SHOULD BE THE NEXT WISCONSIN GOVERNOR. [More accurately, why HE THINKS he should be governor.]

THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN HAS HELD HIS SPOT IN MILWAUKEE FOR FOUR YEARS. [Actually, three and a half, but it seems like longer.]

HE SAYS LEADING ALMOST ONE MILLION CONSTITUENTS HAS GIVEN HIM EXPERIENCE FOR THE JOB. [That makes Doyle 5 times as qualified, having led 5 million.]

"AND ALL THINGS I DO ARE JUST LIKE THE GOVERNOR. I'VE GOT A CABINET, I PRESENT A BUDGET, I HAVE VETOES, I DEAL WITH ALL THE SAME ISSUES THE GOVERNOR DOES. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JIM DOYLE, AND I IS, I TOLD THE VOTERS WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO AND I'VE DONE EVERY ONE OF THE THINGS I SAID I WAS GOING TO DO." [Actually, he's broken almost every promise or faked it, but that's another story.]

HE SAYS HIS BIGGEST ISSUES ARE TAXES AND TRUST. [He trusts that he won't be around when taxes go up because of some of his voodoo budgeting.]

SPECIFICALLY, WALKER SAYS HE'LL WORK FOR LOWER TAXES AND KEEP PROMISES WHILE IN OFFICE. [And when taxes aren't lower, and he doesn't keep his promises, there's one thing you can count on -- He'll blame someone else.]
